Toe for safety footwear having a multilayer structure

Abstract

A toe for safety footwear, including a shell shaped so as to receive the extremity of a foot placed in the footwear, and a lining which is structurally separate from the shell and shaped in such a way as to match its profile. The lining is also bonded to an outer surface of the shell, at least partly covering it.

1. A toe for safety footwear, comprising a shell shaped in such a way as to receive the extremity of a foot placed in the footwear, a lining which is structurally separate from the shell and shaped in a such a way as to match the profile of the shell, the lining being integrally bonded to an outer surface of the shell and at least partly covering the same, and a layer of elastomer or viscoelastic material having a thickness of between 0.3 and 2.5 mm placed between the shell and the lining. 
   
   
     2. The toe according to  claim 1 , in which the lining is made of plastic material. 
   
   
     3. The toe according to  claim 1 , in which the lining is made of metal. 
   
   
     4. The toe according to  claim 3 , in which the lining is made of steel or titanium alloy. 
   
   
     5. The toe according to  claim 1 , in which a plinth supporting the lining extends from a base of the shell. 
   
   
     6. The toe according to  claim 1 , in which the layer is made of silicone. 
   
   
     7. The toe according to  claim 1 , in which the shell is made of plastic material. 
   
   
     8. The toe according to  claim 1 , in which the shell is made of metal. 
   
   
     9. A kit for the manufacture of a toe for safety footwear, comprising at least one shell and at least one lining, which are separate from each other, and which are capable of being bonded together to give rise to a toe, and at least one portion of a viscoelastic or elastomer material further provided to form a toe according to  claim 1 .
